Cataract Surgery
Our advanced cataract surgery removes clouded lenses and replaces them with artificial implants to restore clear vision. Performed by award-winning ophthalmologist Dr. Ira Opatowsky, these outpatient procedures typically take ten minutes with minimal discomfort. We offer customized lens implant options to reduce dependence on glasses post-surgery while utilizing state-of-the-art technology for optimal outcomes.
Eye Exams
Comprehensive eye examinations detect vision changes and eye diseases across all ages. Our exams include diagnostic testing for conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy while monitoring overall eye health. We recommend pediatric exams by age three and regular adult checkups based on individual risk factors using the latest diagnostic equipment for accurate assessments.

Our services include pressure monitoring, medication management, and surgical interventions when necessary. We provide personalized treatment plans to control intraocular pressure and preserve vision using both medical and surgical approaches tailored to each patient's needs.
